Friday, November 30, 2012

Pittsburgh -- Robert Morris University will host the 21st annual TVT Conference on Thursday, Dec. 6, in the Wheatley Center at RMU's Moon Township campus.

Founded in 1991, the Television and Video Teacher Consortium is a partnership with RMU and area high school teachers who share a passion for teaching media. The organization includes high school teachers and administrators from across the tri-state area. This year's event will feature presentations from Ferris Crane, associate professor of media arts. Crane will present her study on student attitudes towards the use of social media, how they use it, and concerns about privacy and identity. Carrie Monoit, student media advisor, will present "What's that Broadcaster Doing in my Newsroom?" an in-depth look at how newsrooms are converging their television, radio, web, and print products.

"TVT is an outstanding resource for both teachers and students involved in video production," said David West, a video production teacher from North Allegheny High School.
